CLAIM FAILS
AGAINST OWNER OF NATIVE LAND. TWO INFANT PLAINTIFFS NONSUITED. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON. This Day. Claiming £5O, which they alleged they had paid Emma Hensen, an aboriginal Native, by way of deposit for a piece of land at the Chathams, E. and J. Hough, infants, recently sued by their next friend for the recovery of that amount from the Public Trustee. Mr J. H. Luxford, S.M., in a judgment delivered today, said the plaintiffs must be nonsuited and their next friend ordered to pay costs according to scale. He said the onus was on the plaintiffs to prove that the land they agreed to buy had no tangible value, and this they had failed to do. They had also failed on the ground that they had not proved that they had paid any money at all to Mrs Hensen.
